Once you digest the information presented in these 25 chapters, you’ll be in a perfect position to apply this knowledge to your specific programming assignments, and you’ll be well equipped to explore the .NET universe on your own terms. What you’ll learn Be the first to understand the .NET 4.5 platform and Visual C# 2012. Discover the ins and outs of the leading .NET technology.
